Flights from Phnom Penh (KTI) to Cairns (CNS)

In-flight Dining
On both the Phnom Penh–Singapore and Singapore–Cairns sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day, with a selection of main courses and light accompaniments in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance to suit your dietary needs or preferences. These are prepared separately and served alongside the regular menu.

Book the Cook
On eligible flights within our network, Book the Cook allows you to pre-order selected main courses before you fly, giving you more control over your inflight dining experience. Availability depends on your cabin and route.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, and hot beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board.

For flights between Phnom Penh and Cairns, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, 40kg for Business Class, and each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg for Economy Class, and 2 pieces each up to 7kg for Business Class. Your final allowance is indicated on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Phnom Penh–Singapore and Singapore–Cairns sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with every seat offering direct aisle access, giving you space to work, dine, and rest comfortably.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available. Eligible passengers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Phnom Penh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official Free Singapore Tour, which usually requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. The tour lets you see highlights of the city before returning to the airport in time for your next flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside offers plenty of ways to relax, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and entertainment zones. Selected terminals also have facilities such as cinemas, children’s play areas, and transit hotels where you can rest between flights.

Whether you choose to explore the airport or join a city tour, it is easy to follow clear wayfinding signs and information screens to stay on schedule. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Phnom Penh follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and also does not observe daylight saving time. Cairns is therefore 3 hours ahead of Phnom Penh throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Cairns Airport when flying from Phnom Penh via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Phnom Penh–Singapore and Singapore–Cairns) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Cairns is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Phnom Penh–Cairns trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
